SEC closed the case against Ripple

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) withdrew its appeal in the case against Ripple Labs, thereby actually completing it. This was stated by CEO of Brad Garlinghaus.

“More than four years ago, SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs. Finally, I can officially say that this case was completed. It is closed, ”Harlinghaus emphasized.

In the video message, CEO Ripple Labs noted that this case was doomed to failure from the very beginning. He called the lawsuit against the company “the first blow to the crypto industry.”

“Ripple Labs was the first company with sufficient resources and opportunities to challenge the agency. […] SEC under Gary Hensler aimed at the entire industry, using the same arguments as in our business. They did not seek to protect investors, only to force and terrorize, ”said Garlinghaus.

At the end of the CEO, the company expressed gratitude to everyone who supported the company in this trial. At the same time, he also noted that he is hoping for the preservation of the new US administration to support innovation in general and the cryptocurrency sphere in particular.

Information that the SEC plans to close and this case also appeared earlier this month. She was shared by the journalist Fox Business Eleanor Terrett.

As she said, the catch arose in the fact that Ripple Labs lawyers managed to significantly reduce the amount of the fine, after which the regulator appealed. This prevented the closing of the case.

Prior to this, the SEC withdrew a number of other claims against crypto companies. The change of the commission of the commission occurred after the resignation of Gary Gensler. Instead, the acting head was appointed commissioner Mark Wedu.
